Project Name:  Post Falls Community Forest 

Project Date: April 26

Join us for Earth Day! We will be doing a youth project at Cougar Bay, part of the City of Coeur d'Alene's growing urban trail system. This popular network of trails provides easy access to nature right in town and is enjoyed by hikers, runners, and families throughout the community. 

During this project, we'll clear brush blocking the trail and keep it open and accessible. No prior trail experience is necessary — volunteers of all skill levels are welcome, and tools and instruction will be provided. 

Celebrate Earth Day by giving back to your local trails, learning new trail-building skills, and spending a rewarding day outdoors in one of Coeur d'Alene's favorite recreation areas. 

Project information is subject to change. Crew leaders will communicate via email. Failure to respond to your crew leader may result in being dropped from the project. See our FAQs, reach out to your crew leader, or contact ITA staff at trails@idahotrailsassociation.org if you have questions.
